OLD BUSINESS The Fall meeting of the Delaware Valley Paperweight Collectors Association was held on Saturday, October 17, 2015 at Williamson’s Restaurant in Horsham, Pennsylvania. President Toby Hawley welcomed the members, guests, and new members. She also reminded us to make hotel reservations for the Paperweight Fest that will be held in Millville, N.J. this coming May. Our speakers were Justin Galante, marble artist, Joel Goodman from Marbleous Marbles, Ben Drabeck who was also our guest dealer, and Meegan Coll from the National Liberty Museum. The application for the Barbara Stitt artist’s grant was included in the newsletter. All of the PCA artists will receive a copy. The deadline is December 31, 2015. NEW BUSINESS Fest Facts – John Hawley informed us that the theme of the Paperweight Fest is going to be All In The Family. It will honor Ray and Bob Banford, and there will be an exhibition of 50 – 60 weights by these artists. MORNING PROGRAM Our morning speaker was Ben Drabeck who gave an interesting and informative presentation about the collections of Josephine Turner and Harriet Smith. Ben is a wonderful speaker and his presentation was delightful. Meegan Coll told us about the National Liberty Museum. It is dedicated to preserving America’s heritage of freedom by encouraging people to find their own place in the story of liberty. Visitors interact with incredible stories of heroes and a collection of contemporary art. Its primary art form is glass art, as it makes the point that freedom is as fragile as glass. She encouraged us to visit the museum and help support its important work. She brought beautiful paperweights to sell and has others at the museum. The sale of these weights will help them to continue their community work. Phil Edelman informed us that the location of the next Paperweight Convention will be announced very soon. The convention will take place in the United States. President Hawley introduced a proposal for commissioning a 2017 25th DVPCA anniversary paperweight for our club. A discussion followed with general agreement that the idea should be pursued within a price range of $200 to $400. It was also agreed to that only preordered weights should be made. January 30, 2016: Our guest dealer will be Leo Kaplan and the featured speaker will be Cathy Richardson. November 15, 2016: Election of Officers. We all should take advantage of our wonderful lending library. There is a wealth of information to be shared in our literature. LUNCH AND RAFFLE PRIZE WINNERS Lunch was delicious as usual with a choice of turkey, pasta, and pot roast. The apple pie dessert was especially enjoyable. AFTERNOON PROGRAM Joel Goodman from Marbleous Marbles told us that he is a collector of marbles. He spoke of the 1940s when machine made marbles were being made in great quantities. Now, marble artists employ torch work techniques in their The raffle prizes were fabulous and we raised over $200 to help pay for the cost of the meeting. PAGE 1 Dear Friends, crafting of these miniatures. They use clear glass rods and a colored rod to paint the scenes in their works. First, let me wish you and your loved ones a very happy and healthy New Year. The warm December was followed by a bitter cold January and the Hawleys are trying to adjust. Joel stated that in his collecting, he has bought marbles from many artists. What was once a hobby with one group of about 1500 collectors has now grown to over twenty groups with more than 18,000 collectors. He told us about the recent marble show at WheatonArts. As you are aware, this is an election year. While the candidates for the national office of president are going at each other’s throats and spending a lot of money doing so, the DVPCA is mounting a quiet, inexpensive search for a new president. Soon, Sandy Mikelberg will be taking nominations for this office. It has been my pleasure and privilege to serve in this capacity for a number of terms. Now is the time for new ideas and another person to lead. You can count on me to help in any way that I can. We have one of the best paperweight collectors groups in the country due to the enthusiasm of the members and the quality of the programs. I know that we can continue in this manner. The Election of Officers will be held at the October 15 meeting. Justin Galante, who was introduced to us by Joel Goodman, bought his first marble when he was just 13 years old. Ever since then he has been fascinated by glass and told his parents when he was 15 years old that he wanted to be a glass artist. A teacher in his school suggested he work with Hot Soup Studio in Philadelphia. He followed his teacher’s advice and so began a career as a glass artist, paying his way through the college he attended. He brought many items to sell at our meeting. An interesting observation he made was that an artist needs to control the viewer’s eye. How true. Justin’s talk was an engaging one. We look forward to more great works from this artist in the future. President Hawley thanked everyone for attending and reminded us to continue to admire and shop for all the wonderful weights and marbles on sale at our meeting. Respectfully submitted by Gail Munz, Secretary In the meantime, we have other activities to enjoy. Our April 16 meeting will see the return of Clinton Smith to our club. But the big event will be our sponsoring of Paperweight Bob and Toby in 1997 Fest 2016 with and at WheatonArts on May 12-14. Co-chairs John Hawley and Jim Lefever are working hard to make it the best one yet. The theme is All in the Family dedicated to Ray and Bob Banford. (Here is a vintage photo of Bob and Me from a DVPCA meeting in 1997.) The Fest will include: interesting programs, great opportunities to find new treasures at the Dealers’ Fair, a chance to make your own creation and time to enjoy meeting with friends who have their own collecting addiction. Don’t miss this one! Toby Hawley & Justin Galante Don’t forget to vote on November 8. Remember, you can’t complain if you haven’t participated. I look forward to seeing everybody at our next meeting with Cathy Richardson as our guest artist. Her work is amazing and so is she. Fondly, Toby Hawley DVPCA President Justin Galante with Elliott & Rosalyn Heith PAGE 2 Fooled By Fakes glassmaker who reinvented 19th-century techniques with innovative new technologies and designs. Consider to be one of the “greatest paperweight artists of the 20th century” (www.ysartglass.com), his work has been copied but never truly duplicated. Since Ysart’s highquality paperweights command very high prices, there are plenty of fakes out there. A member of a glassmaking family, Paul’s love leaned toward paperweights, which he began making in the 1930’s and continued until 1979. A large number of fake Ysart paperweights infiltrated the market between 1987 and 1989, and unfortunately, some of the earliest fakes were of high quality. However, some weights were duplicated, which is a sure sign of a fake. It’s estimated that over 1,000 fakes were made and sold, which would have brought nearly $400,000 to the forgers. by Anita Stratos Courtesy of Antiques & Auction News of the Engle Printing & Publishing Company Contributed by Diane Atkerson Originally considered both practical and luxurious, glass paperweights are relatively modern inventions, considering that the first signed and dated glass weights weren’t made until the mid-1840’s. Intended to look beautiful while serving an important purpose of holding papers in place in drafty buildings, Pietro Bigaglia is credited with making the first weights. He was a Venetian glassmaker who employed ancient glassworking methods in crafting his paperweights. Soon, glassmakers in other countries also began production, from England to Belgium and finally the U.S. Some of the finest glass companies produced paperweights, including St. Louis, Tiffany, Baccarat, Lalique, and Clichy. High-end paperweights can sell for hundreds or even thousands of dollars, some having stretched into five figures. You won’t find Paul Ysart’s signature on most of his paperweights made for the commercial market; however, he did sign some that he made for acquaintances and friends. If you find a supposed Ysart paperweight with the “P.Ysart” signature, check other features of the weight and make sure to have the piece authenticated. Italian paperweights are known for their millefiori (translation: a thousand flowers) weights made up of many small “canes” that create the fascinating patterns we’ve all seen in many different forms. Antique Venetian millefiori paperweights were dated on the inside, with tiny individual canes used for each number of the year. So a paperweights made in 1854 would have four tiny canes, each with an individual number of that year, and this date is visible when looking down at the weight. However, in the 1970’s, reproductions of antique Venetian millefiori paperweights were made by Italian glass craftsmen, and they included the year the weight was originally made. You can tell the difference because the dates inside the modern weights were typically put on one solid cane instead of four tiny ones. These 20th-century pieces are frequently misrepresented as antiques by sellers and auction houses that truly don’t know they are reproductions. Ysart’s paperweight have a cane with either “PY,” “P,” or “H.” The “H” stands for Harland/Highland Works. However, not every paperweight contains a marked cane, so you need to become familiar with his work in order to identify an unmarked weight. It is said that the weights he made for the American market had canes marked “PY,” but those he made for the UK market were either unmarked or contained the “H” mark. The “PY” mark has been forged quite a bit, but there are a few ways to recognize these. First, the initials may not be even. That is, the “Y” may appear lower that the “P” in the cane. Second, authentic marks are pink, but many forgeries have one orange letter and one pink letter. Finally, if both initial are too small inside the cane and don’t fill the space, it’s probably a forgery. But even a correct date or signed cane can occasionally be found in a counterfeit weight. Some weights resembling Paul Ysart’s work containing proper PY canes were discovered. Only through examination of other features of the weights can the difference be revealed. Similar problems occurred even back in the 19th century, when glassworkers from Europe brought to American canes from their previous places of employment, using them in the weights they made here. Others reproduced the canes they were previously making, which caused difficulty in distinguishing their American-made pieces from their European-made weights. This is why canes cannot be used exclusively for identification. In the 1930’s, forgeries of paperweights made by important companies were made in China. These included copies of weights by Baccarat, Sandwich Glass Company, New England Glass Company, and Millville. A study done by a Smithsonian expert found that authentic old high-end weights were sent to China by American importers for the specific purpose of having them copied. Many fake Murano millefiori paperweights have been and are still being produced in China, some with fake Murano labels, but Chinese millefiori generally have much less complexity when compared to true Murano millefiori. You can see a lot of these in online auctions, misleadingly listed as Italian glass. Most online auctions for Chinese millefiori paperweights have very low starting prices, many of which are no more than 99 cents. There’s also evidence that some modern Baccarat millefiori and pansy paperweights made in the 1920’s and 1930’s contain authentic canes with dates from the 19th century, some as old as 1815. The canes were used by DuPont, who worked for Baccarat during that time period, and it’s uncertain whether he deliberately or accidentally It would be remiss in a discussion of paperweights not to talk about pieces created by Paul Ysart, a Scottish PAGE 3 Mass Glass Musings put old case into new weights. In any case, the weights made by DuPont differ from the 19th-century weights in the color of the pansies’ lower petals, the magnification of the glass, weight shapes and cane color schemes. by John D. Hawley This is the conclusion of my series on New England Glass Company spoke concentric millefiori paperweights; here I cover the 8 and 9 spoke designs. With both arrangements we are getting into unknown territory as they are seldom found, with the nine spoke being the rarer of the two. In general, things like cane color and quality, magnification, glass color tone and fogginess in addition to marks on weights that have them are all clues to authenticity. Since all these features vary from maker to maker, it’s important to know the various aspects of the glassworker’s style and the features of this pieces before making a determination. Figure 1 illustrates the 8 spoke design, and this is the nicest spoke configuration that I have found. It is beautifully balanced with each spoke containing the same pattern of canes, and each spoke radiating out from the center in a nice straight line. The only mismatch comes with the outer cane of the spokes – 7 of the 8 contain a white running rabbit, while the 8th cane has a central cog. Signs of a fake. 1. Millifiori with less complexity 2. Uneven “PY” mark on alleged Ysart weights 3. Incorrect cane colors/quality for specific maker Reference books, websites, and collecting groups are the best ways to keep from being fooled by fakes. Here are a few: Ysart Glass (www.ysartglass.com); The Glass Museum On Line (www.theglassmuseum.com), excellent reference and forum; “Scottish Paperweights” by Robert G. Hall; and “The Dictionary of Paperweight Signature Canes” by Andrew Dohan. The nine spoke specimen of Figure 2 takes an entirely different approach as there is no set pattern of canes in the spokes. Only one silhouette cane lives here – a nice bee at the end of the spoke at the 11:00 position. The spoke concentric millefiori was a popular design of the New England Glass Company, probably second only to the close concentric. The 4 and 7 spoke configurations appear to be the most easily found, while the 5, 6, 8, and 9 specimens remain a challenge to the collector. Diane Atkerson & Audrey Smit Figure 1 Figure 2 Boyd England & Tom Egan PAGE 4 The Paperweight in Art by Lee Arnold and Neal Demp Every paperweight collector is familiar with Lawrence H. Selman’s 1988 book, The Art of the Paperweight. Neal and I have looked for representations of paperweights in art, or more specifically, in painting. We were in Santa Fe recently when we walked into the Sugarman-Peterson Gallery. There we were struck by the paintings of Jane Jones. Jane is an artist known for her depictions of flowers juxtaposed with glass. Two of her paintings caught our eye instantly. They both prominently featured what looked like a paperweight at first glance. Jane Jones hails from Denver and taught art history for decades. She is also a master painter who features plants and flowers from her garden in Colorado. She was inspired by Dutch floral and still life painters from the 17th century and pays particular detail to the effects of glass when filled with water. Cut flowers in vases reveal the visual effect of the stems above and below the waterline. Harmony by Jane Jones What caught Neal’s eye on one (Within the Milky Way) was not only its trompe l’oeil effect, but also the beauty of the blue and green orb wrapped in tissue paper [see the full image and inset]. Alas, Jane refers to it on her website as a marble. It reminded her of the Earth and the crumpled tissue paper, the Milky Way galaxy. Another painting, Harmony, brings back the orb, but this time, with two vases holding white lilies [see closeup]. Within the Milky Way now proudly hangs in Neal’s living room, near his paperweight collection. For more information, check out these websites (sugarmanpetersongallery.com and janejonesartist.com). Closeup of Within the Milky Way Within the Milky Way by Jane Jones PAGE 5 Santa Fe Glass Acquisitions by Lee Arnold and Neal Demp Our annual trip to Santa Fe (for Neal’s educational seminar) resulted in the acquisition of glass by local artists during our free time. At the William & Joseph Gallery, on Canyon Road, Neal was immediately attracted to a watermelon paperweight by Laura (Lolly) Goodwin. Goodwin’s watermelon slices were whimsical and colorful and good enough to eat (Fig. 1). Neal had to have one, seeds and all. Her artwork also features cherries standing independently (Fig. 2) or encased in glass (Fig. 3). Goodwin trained at both Pilchuk and the Penland glass schools and settled in Santa Fé, running the Nambé Glass Studio. Figure 1 At the Keshi Zuni Collection, Neal picked up a glass bear fetish by Marcel Chase Weahkee (Fig. 4). According to their website, the Bear was the principal animal for the Pueblo Indians and the fetish is used for healing, protection and strength. At Double Take, a Santa Fe landmark consignment center, Lee purchased a glass cat fetish by Kenny Chavez (Fig. 5). While a fetish of a domestic house cat does not carry traditional Zuni powers (except perhaps warding off hairballs and doing any physical activity), they are popular and whimsical--qualifying for Lee’s fetish and cat figurine collections. Both of these glass fetishes are unique in that they are made of glass. Zuni fetishes are traditionally carved from stone, bone or gems.
